Researchers at the University of Exeter have created a detailed temporal map of chemical changes to DNA through development and aging of the human brain, offering new insights into how conditions such ...

DNA can also be demethylated, either through passive or active processes. Passive DNA demethylation occurs when the methylation pattern is not replenished during DNA replication and gradually ...

DNA methylation is a widely studied epigenetic modification with crucial roles in gene regulation, development, and disease, particularly in cancer. It has immense potential as a biomarker for early ...

The visible effects of ageing on our body are in part linked to invisible changes in gene activity. The epigenetic process of DNA methylation — the addition or removal of tags called methyl groups — ...

Researchers have found that women who consume more ultra-processed foods exhibit widespread differences in DNA methylation, suggesting early biological changes that may explain how diet leaves a ...
